　　請將下面這段話翻譯成英文：

　　春節(jié)是中國最重要的節(jié)日，也是大家所熟悉的中國新年。對于中國人來說，這個節(jié)日的重要性如同圣誕節(jié)對于西方人。 具體的節(jié)慶日期是由農(nóng)歷(lunar calendar)而不是由公歷(Gregorian calendar)決定的。所以，春節(jié)的節(jié)慶日期一般在元月下旬與二月上旬之間。新年的準(zhǔn)備活動自臘月底(農(nóng)歷年底)開始，人們忙于掃塵，還清債務(wù)，理發(fā)，置新衣。人們也會在家中或到廟里燒香(burn incense)祭祖，祈求老天爺保佑平安。

　　參考譯文：

　　The most important holiday in China is the Spring Festival, which is also known as the Chinese New Year. To the Chinese people it is as important as Christmas to the westerners. The date for this annual celebration is determined by the lunar calendar rather than the Gregorian calendar, so the timing of the holiday varies form late January to early February. Preparations for the New Year begin on the final days of the last lunar month when most families clean their homes, pay their debts, have their hair cut and buy new clothes. People also burn incense at home or in the temples to pay respect to their ancestors and to pray to the God for a happy life in the coming year.

　　The Spring Festival　　

　　Spring Festival is the first traditional festival for the Chinese people. In the past years, Spring Festival was called “new year”, for this day was the first day of the lunar month according to the lunar calendar which had long been used in China, so it was the beginning of a new year. It is recorded that Chinese people have celebrated Spring Festival for more than 4000 years, which was started by Yu Shun. One day as far back as 2000 B.C, Shun was inaugurated as the emperor. He led his men to hold a ceremony in honor of Heaven and Earth. From then on, people saw that day as the beginning of the year, i.e. the first day of the lunar month. This is said to be the origin of the lunar new year, which was called Spring Festival later. After the Revolution of 1911, China began to number the years according to the Gregorian calendar, and it was then that the lunar new year began to be called Spring Festival.
